Your video saved me $165.00 dollars, the price local locksmiths were asking, after my Honda Pilot key fob was damaged. I brought the replacement fob from Amazon for a mere $6.75, then watched your video and had the re-fobbed key working in 5 minutes after the time it took to watch your video.

Glad to hear my video helped you out

Thank you so much buddy u saved my bank account. From going to a mechanic

I thought I could replace the shell, but your video helped me to KNOW I could. I was going to return these, as the Amazon ad deceptively made it sound like it had a chip slot (“Replacement for 4 Button Honda Remote Key Shell - with Chip Holder”), but 2-sided plastic carpet tape worked fine. The only frustration was in cutting the key blade out of the old shell: It was just tedious. Saved $250 from dealer quote (May 2024). $10 for 2 shells plus my labor. Thank you!

Thanks! This is the most detailed instructional video for my 2007 Accord with the transponder. Helped confirm that would need to destroy the old case in order to get to the transponder.

Thank you so much for the help and tutorial in getting this project done. I was able to successfully change out two of my Honda car keys, which were broken, and it saved me a fair amount of money by following your video. All it cost me was $10...parts were purchased from Amazon.

Same here. thanks so much for taking the time to do this!

Thank you so much man! I just bought a case from AliExpress. But was confused with the small black chip.. took it off.. put a double sided tape as you mentioned. Cleaned the remote and button with small smooth paint brush, installed on new case shell. All went smoothly, even the sticker was ease with heat gun. I heated the back of the sticker, stick on the new one. Now the key looks like new 👍and solid.

[@IBRAHIM-vz1un]

I also recommend cleaning they key itself (metal, teeth) from dirt and old residue and lubricate it with silicone spray & wipe the excess. To reduce stress on plastic, make it last longer.. by making the key slide in & out easier and smoother. Good idea too to lubricate car door looks with Q20 or silicone spray.

Good Job Amigo Thank You For Taking Your Time To Made The Vídeo I Love it👍🏼

[@MsJJ-hn7pz]

Thanks to you, I'm going for it. i have everything just need a new plastic case

[@sbkscuify]

bought one of these kits off of eBay. worked for the most part but the screw they included was too long. So I may need to source a slightly shorter one. It enough to go through and then pushes the two pieces of the key apart

[@joemegguh9298]

thx brother

[@nopiatl]

I am dealing with this right now and unfortunately the other person who glued the remote together they glued the guts together and they lost the chip

[@raiderman28]

No good. If you have to get another remote, you will have to have it professionally programmed. Its better if they supply the remote, in case you have issues, they have to deal with it

[@Rizqi1010]

I am quite surprised that the heatgun is not used for dissasembling the case with heavy glue work. Any particular reason ? Is it to protect the pcb inside ?

[@raiderman28]

Hummm good idea, but also too much heat can damage the pcb board.

[@juadysrodriguez7713]

I lost my chip, if I buy another one does my car will start or do I have to buy anotherone?

[@raiderman28]

no it will not start. you will have to have a locksmith or a key programmer program a new key/remote that comes with a new chip

[@michaelfolchetti4624]

How do you get the b0ank key out????

[@raiderman28]

These dont have blank keys. If your has a blank key, you have to have it keyed. I don’t believe those keys come out. Its not the same as an original key, that you can swap over to a new case

[@briang896]

I can’t remove the screw from the key. It’s beyond striped. Practically just a piece of metal stuck in there.

[@raiderman28]

I did one key where i had to literally break it apart, because the screw was stripped out

[@SkotWhitman]

I had this same problem. Try using needle nose pliers. I was able to break the plastic off from around the key, Once the plastic is gone the screw sticks out enough I was able to clap down on the screw with pliers and twisting it till it came out. You've probably already fixed yours, hopefully this might help someone else in the future.

[@johnnyheckard7185]

What web site you get the new case’s from.

[@raiderman28]

I believe it was just on Amazon
